Luke‬ ‭9 : 23‬

“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9 : 23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Do you carry your cross daily? And do you truly understand what it means to carry your cross? Jesus spoke about being disciples and denying themselves. To deny yourself is to give up earthly desires to not only live as Jesus did but to also expect persecution as Jesus did. As Christians we are under attack not only from the devil but also the world. Today’s prayer is that we would embrace God’s amazing grace and pray to be shaped into the disciples that Jesus longs for …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

TRUST IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. – JOHN 14 : 1 – 2, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“TRUST IS A GOLDEN PATHWAY TO HEAVEN. When you walk on this path, you live above your circumstances. GOD’S glorious Light shines more brightly on those who follow this path of Life. Dare to walk on the high road with GOD, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. There the air hangs heavy, and dark, ominous clouds predominate. Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down. Trust in GOD absolutely, and HE will make your path straight.”

Scripture

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” JOHN 14 : 1 – 2

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord with the power of your Holy Spirit in me I can trust in you absolutely and not lean on my own understanding. Help me to see things from your perspective, being open to whatever you have in store for me. I trust you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3 : 30‬ ‭NKJV

Are you always choosing what best fills your desire? Do you choose you first or God first? Today’s prayer is that we would start each day with this prayer, Lord have your way in my day, strengthen me with your Holy Spirit and let my day be less of me and all of you! In Jesus Name …….. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

THE LORD’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. – MATTHEW 13 : 46, JAMES 1 : 2, JOHN 16 : 33

“THE LORD’S PEACE is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. It is an exquisitely costly gift, both for the Giver and the receiver. The LORD, JESUS CHRIST purchased this Peace for you with HIS blood. You receive this gift by trusting The LORD in the midst of life’s storms. If you have the world’s peace—everything going your way — you don’t seek GOD’S unfathomable Peace. Thank GOD when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day. Rejoice in the face of hardship, for The LORD has overcome the world.”

Scripture

. . . who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MATTHEW 13 : 46 (NKJV)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” JOHN 16 : 33

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the gift of Your perfect peace, purchased at such a great cost. Help me to trust You in every storm, knowing that trials bring spiritual blessings and draw me closer to You. Teach me to rejoice in hardship, remembering that You have overcome the world and are my unfailing refuge. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 19

“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil,” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6 : 19‬ ‭NASB‬‬

The world tells us that hope is a waste of time!!!! As a believer that is crazy!!!! Remember when you were a kid and hope was all you had for that new baseball glove or pair of new shoes? That is the same hope we should have today in our promise from God’s word. Today’s prayer is that we would never lose hope in anything!!! With hope and prayer all things are possible …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4 : 3 – 4‬

“If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4 : 3 – 4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

So many opinions!!!! So many theories!!!! So much judgement!!!! The Good News of Christ is for all! And I mean all ! It’s up to you if you choose to believe. Today’s prayer is that we all would have spiritual eyes to see the truth and preach that truth to all and I mean all!!! We are in the end times and it’s more important now than ever to lead souls to Christ Jesus ……. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5 : 17

Ephesians‬ ‭1 : 5 – 6

“having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1 : 5 – 6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know that God speaks of us as his children! Being a parent I know that your children are the most important priority when raising them. To make sure they’re safe and make the right choices are a parent’s prayer. God not only does the same for us but he also has all forgiving mercy and grace for us. Do you have the same for your children? Today’s prayer is that you would reach out to your kids and let them know how much you love them and how much you’re praying for them …… Be Blessed and always have grace

IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. – DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6, 1 PETER 3 : 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

“IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to GOD. Share a secret smile with GOD, knowing that HE understands. Rejoice in GOD’S Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper The LORD’S Name in loving contentment, assured that HE will never leave you or forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to The LORD. As you live in close contact with GOD, the Light of HIS Presence filters through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness are the openings through which the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines forth. The LORD’s strength and power show themselves most effectively in your weakness.”

Scripture

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 PETER 3 : 4

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7

But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, teach me to whisper Your Name throughout the day, finding peace in Your Presence and strength in my weakness. Let Your light shine through me to bless others, and may Your grace sustain me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17‬

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.” ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2 : 16 – 17‬

Are you feeling down, stressed, alone today? There is a great comfort in our Lord Jesus, He has given us an eternal promise that will never fail. Today’s prayer is that we would rest in the comfort of our savior and realize man will fail us but Jesus never will. HE is always there for us …….. Be Blessed and turn to Jesus

STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. – PSALM 52 : 8, PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

“STRIVE TO TRUST GOD in more and more areas of your life. Anything that tends to make you anxious is a growth opportunity. Instead of running away from these challenges, embrace them, eager to gain all the blessings GOD has hidden in the difficulties. If you believe that GOD is sovereign over every aspect of your life, it is possible to trust The LORD in all situations. Don’t waste energy regretting the way things are or thinking about what might have been. Start at the present moment — accepting things exactly as they are — and search for GOD’S way in the midst of those circumstances. Trust is like a staff you can lean on, as you journey uphill with The LORD. If you are trusting in GOD consistently, the staff will bear as much of your weight as needed. Lean on, trust, and be confident in The LORD with all your heart and mind.”

Scripture

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. PSALM 52 : 8

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to trust you in more and more areas of my life. Starting at the present moment, accepting things exactly as they are, and searching for your way in the midst of my circumstance. I trust you Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
